Client Success Stories
Thank you, John, for all your efforts in helping us with our estate planning and preparing all of the documents that are necessary for that process.  You were very helpful as you advised us on the various options, coached us on the implications of our decisions, and finalized the documents with us. If the unspeakable should happen, we have the comfort of knowing you will advise our family with the same patience and wisdom you shared with us.
Mr. and Mrs. L.
Thank you, John! Since our situation was not a simple direction, we are grateful for your patience and flexibility as we thought through these difficult choices.  We both feel at peace about our final decisions and will be turning to you as circumstances change over time. 
Mr. and Mrs. L.
John, I want to thank you for the crucial and priceless information and advice you offered to me a year ago before taking my case.   Upon following your advice, I returned a year later to proceed with my Medicaid Star Plus Waiver application.  Words cannot describe how grateful I am to John McNair for taking my case and resolving it to a favorable outcome.
Mrs. B.
When my mother passed away I was at a loss as the Executor of the Will. John was able to clearly explain the legal issues and direction to be taken while being understanding and sensitive to the situation. John was responsive to all my calls and questions, and most importantly, was a strong advocate in the Estate’s defense. Should the need arise in the future, I will contact John McNair.
Mrs. C.
